After finding our feet in Nashville we hit the ground running and met some great people at the conference. That night we went to the famous Ryman Auditorium to the Americana Awards ceremony. It was televised and incredible production. Special guests were Bonnie Raitt, John Hiatt and Richard Thompson. The all star backing band featured Buddy Miller and Booker T Jones!! Fantastic night followed by an intimate, packed house gig with Kasey Chambers and Shane Nicholson at The Station Inn. A great night!

This is a great witting and sharing about the band and the performance at Nashville on the second day. I am glad to be here on your blog after a long search and finally I have something to read and learn about the different activities.
